Wtg nice job
Filled the boat up and put a little work in before fishing this morning!
Looks like you are going to have some good "honey hole" to fish pretty soon. Smart move wearing that PFD flotation device because one of those cement blocks can take a person to the bottom of a lake really fast without one. Thanks for sharing this an I will be looking forward to seeing your fishing reports and pictures in the near future for sure.
Be safe and good luck fishingN/A LIKED above postRedge, Lowellhturner thanked you for this post

Never seen a 10 hole brick in my whole life. Went and looked them up, I learn something new everyday!
Thanks LT.

Like most effective tips it's easy and cheap. Small crayfish, dragonfly nymphs and minnows hide in the holes and bigger fish very fast learn to suck them out just like using a straw... The 10 hole bricks work best on top of the pallet and don't add a great deal of weight while increasing the prey potential and diversity and can be zip tied on quickly just before " splashing " them.
Constructive advice here!.....take a look at the mess behind you in the Pic. That is exactly how good PVC cover should look!
It is true that Crappie will use ANY cover available, if no other is around...but they prefer dense safe area, that they can move in and out of, hide in safety/shade, or ambush prey from.
That is exactly why they like downed trees, root system of trees, stump fields, fish attractor posts/docks, etc.
The number one mistake of plastic cover builders, is not to take advantage of not maximizing the potential of never having to put in in again.
Your pallet is good, by tripling the number of small pipe, makes it great. Plastic that is too spaced out does not provide what Crappie really want....ask yourself how many 12 inch Crappie can safely hide in that pallet....then how many can hide if you make it dense....always remember that with plastic built properly, YOU NEVER HAVE TO BUILD IT AGAIN!

While "C" trees and hard wood brush blocks do have their own advantages would agree with Sir Intimidator, that longevity DOES have its own unique offering. Consider that none of us is getting any younger, cannot help but to think of the motto of the ancient Roman Civil Engineers : "I build beyond my own life !" Expertly constructed you can place attractors and cover that your grandkids will take their children to fish on...
